Lol I believe it. One of the best catches ive ever seen. Period.

same.. and i only saw it on replay.. seeing that live must have been nuts.

LBSS, you witness that catch live? seems so.

yeah man. one of those things i'll probably always be glad to have seen live, like the messi goal in 2007 that duplicated maradona's goal of the century. i was just eating dinner with the game on, with my host family in chile, and we were all kind of like, wait what just happened. something special about it. nfl network had "top 10 catches of 2014" last night and this catch was numbers three, two, and one.

also vag those are funny. i'd seen the adam-god one before but not the others.

beat you to it.

i was in california with my brothers. we went to the coast, where there were some steep hills leading down to a kind of shallow, rocky beach. i guess it was kind of an inlet, or at least a place where the ocean cut a deep V into the hills. we were surrounded mostly by hills. anyway, there were a TON of people there, both on the beach and in the water. brothers and i started swimming among the crowd, making our way from one tip of the V down toward the bottom of it. as we got closer to the bottom i looked up into the hills and there were three grizzly bears among the trees, about 100 feet. one of the bears was fucking one of the other ones. people started noticing and pointing and this big group of african-american people and this big group of chinese tourists got out of the water and started walking toward the bears. i should point out that these bears were ENORMOUS, much bigger than even real-life grizzlies. i was like, f that, and started swimming the other direction, and thinking to myself, man all those people are toast.

then there was a weird image of a small person, a really big person with a cartoonishly big head, and then the huge bear sitting next to each other on a ridge.

WEIGHT: ???
SORENESS: glutes, hams
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder a little, left felt weird but not painful. just a little tight maybe. went away after i got warm
MENTAL STATE: good

- warm up
did a bunch of full-court lay ups. fun times, these are good for conditioning. if i ever do a conditioning block i think it'd be fun to throw these in, work up to sets of 20 or something.

- bench 200 x 6,6

- pull up x 6; +10 x 5,5
first time doing weighted pull ups in a long time.

- circuit x 4
-- push up x 12
-- inverted row x 12
-- decline sit up +15 x 10

- stretch

i like that high-volume stuff. feels good, challenging without pushing my shoulder or low back in unsafe ways.

attaboy. speaking of keep it up. 

thanks fellas!

WEIGHT: ??
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: left shoulder, head
MENTAL STATE: good, relaxed

- warm up

- DLRVJ x a bunch
so good, best in a while. one was 36, banged the bottom of my palm on the rim. easy, easy dodgeball dunks.

- stretch

notably, jogging to and from the gym felt GREAT. my body just wanted to propel itself forward, legs felt springy, low effort.

man it just sounds like you need a new challenge and, as always, to get out of your own head and stop beating yourself up. some ideas, all of which i'm completely serious about:

1. dancing. wish i was a better dancer. can be really good exercise, but not draining. learn how to salsa or rumba or swing or something. keep lifting in the background but dance. and start dropping some panties, if you're into that sort of thing.
2. yoga. pick a position that you can't do and work toward being able to do it.
3. some kind of aerobic shit, do a long distance swimming comp or something.
4. your idea about really high rep lifting seems like a good one. sets of 20 and plate swings and shit. work up to 100x20 squat, or 120x20.
5. build some strongman-type implements and fuck around with them. you train at home, why not get a truck tire or make yourself a sandbag or two?
6. sprint. go check out what acole was doing these past few months and just do that.

anyway you'll probably disregard all that, which is fine. just trying to think of things you could distract yourself with while still being productive.

i think i herniated a disc just watching that video.
